Semi-auto mode (Carbine)
- Aim for the head for maximum performance of this rifle.
- Just shoot continuously as it is very accurate but never get close to a zombie.
- Try not to use this weapon when escaping from zombies as this weapon is not very accurate when being shot in motion.
- In ducts, it can deal multiple number of zombies and can penetrate a body of zombie.
- Try not to spam shots with this weapon, as this weapon's ammo is limited (20 rounds).
- 20 rounds can take out zombies with 1920 ~ 9600 health points.
- Use secondary weapon to escape while use SVD Custom for killing (not recommended to use if there is large group of zombies).
M203 GL mode
- Use grenade launcher mode to engage multiple zombies, especially when camping.
- Never use M203 grenade launcher in ducts as you will end up losing your own health.
Counters
- Always jump to avoid receiving a headshot.
- Sneak from behind if possible as this weapon can deal very high damage.
- If playing as Deimos, releasing the shock ability to the Hero is useless as the Hero is immune to the ability.
- Never go face-to-face with Hero, unless if you have 14000 health points.
- Zombies may target Hero first, use this advantage to strike.
- Do not engage the Hero in ducts as human shots are very accurate in crouching position. This condition will get worse if the hero has the Deadly Shot skill or a maxed Morale Boost level.
- Cooperate with Voodoo zombie when facing this weapon.

Trivia
- It has the lowest magazine capacity for an assault rifle alongside M14 EBR.
- In real-life, the grenade will not explode if the shooter fires it at close distances.
- The SVD Custom's grenade launcher ejects a whole unfired grenade when reloading, while other grenade launchers like the M32, OICW and the M79 ejects empty grenade shells when reloaded.
- It is not required to pull the bolt again when switching back into 'rifle' mode in real-life.
- The model shows the weapon's fire selector is on safety position, which means the gun wouldn't be able to fire in real-life. This mistake also can be found in its predecessor, the original SVD.
- Since the weapon can't be dropped by normal means, the worldmodel of the SVD Custom is never seen and thus rendering its assigned world model unused. This, however, could be done in previous releases if the player had become Hero before choosing its custom weapons and later equips them.
- If the Hero commits suicide while wielding this weapon,it will not be dropped.
